I don’t think these two games can be reasonably compared. HL2 is currently free, while concord was a paid game.

Does anyone need some old SCART, VGA, DVI, serial, parallel, USB type B, coax, RJ11 cables? And that’s only the stuff I know the names of.

No dad, YOU never know when you might need them. I know for sure that keeping charging cables and headphones with proprietary connectors will never again be useful.

It would make more sense for microsoft to partner with some hardware vendor and release a modified version of windows 11. With a nice mobile-optimized GUI, integration for the most popular game stores and an optional desktop mode.

If Microsoft really wants to get in the mobile gaming sector, why don’t they even have a working protoype to show? The article claims that it is still “a few years away” at this point.

Doesn’t sound like they really have high ambitions.

True. I really wonder why they’re not tackling the issue more. It seems that there are several different areas to adress, from farming to industry to vehicles.

The “more toxic than ever” part seems to be based on subjective opinions, not on data.

No cure has been found yet for factorio.

I’ve started Cyberpunk 2077 recently. Runs pretty flawlessly now with patch 2.x, I’m glad that I waited a few years

The article says that the influence on battery usage is low. But the higher resolution might result in a higher power draw.

You can trim it even further:

Maybe because many streaming services have locked their 4k content behind some specific apps and platforms and offer lower resolutions on general desktop PCs.

Generally, we (sadly) see smart monitors come up like smart TVs did ten years ago.

Some noteable features include streaming apps (netflix…) and wireless screen mirroring from phones.

This graphic shows that the platform is designed with full virtualization in mind. You can see that the VM on the right has its own kernel (unlike for example docker containers).

I don’t think so. I think they are trying to make android more suitable for “desktop” usage, similar to chrome os.

By providing a gui for larger screens (Android 15) and virtualization (Android 16) they are significantly expanding what android can do.

Sounds a bit like the linux container in chromebooks. Looks like Google is planning to merge chrome os and android in future

All models are equipped with 16GB of RAM, and two additional storage variants are available that cost 21,999 yuan (about $3,089) for 512GB and 23,999 yuan (about $3,370) for 1TB.

They are learning from Apple about the memory price. $300 for 512 gb additional memory storage is insane.

It’a about locating objects like headphones:

While locating objects over Bluetooth is possible, it’s also not very precise — but that’s what Bluetooth 6.0 and its new Channel Sounding feature are looking to solve.
